Southwest said soon after it began experiencing"an uptick on cosmetic and other minor maintenance write-ups," leading to an unprecedented number of aircraft out of service and forcing the airline to delay or cancel hundreds of flights.For example, it said the number of write-ups for minor interior systems such as a missing row number on an airline that does not assign seats spiked almost 400 percent to 500 percent after talks broke down.
